We were returning zero if no bytes could be written to the Tilera
hypervisor console device, but this causes the output to be truncated.
By returning -EAGAIN the tty hvc driver will come back and try again,
which gives the semantics we want, and avoids dropping console output.

This change improves and cleans up the tile console.
- We enable HVC_IRQ support on tilegx, with the addition of a new
Tilera hypervisor API for tilegx to allow a console IPI. If IPI
support is not available we fall back to the previous polling mode.
- We simplify the earlyprintk code to use CON_BOOT and eliminate some
of the other supporting earlyprintk code.
- A new tile_console_write() primitive is used to send output to
the console and is factored out of the hvc_tile driver.
This lets us support a "sim_console" boot argument to allow using
simulator hooks to send output to the "console" as a slightly
faster alternative to emulating the hardware more directly.

As requested by Arnd Bergmann, the hvc drivers are now
moved to the drivers/tty/hvc/ directory. The virtio_console.c driver
was also moved, as it required the hvc_console.h file to be able to be
built, and it really is a hvc driver.
